Vite DevTools is an extensible framework for visualizing the internal state and build analysis of Vite and Rolldown projects. It provides a unified dock UI, type-safe RPC between server and client, and an open architecture allowing any Vite plugin to add custom inspectors and visualizations.

Use cases

• visualize vite module graph and dependencies
• analyze rolldown build chunks and assets
• debug vite plugin behavior during development
• build custom devtools panels for my vite plugin
• inspect build metadata for a vite project
• add a devtools integration to my vite-based framework

When to choose

• you develop with Vite or Rolldown and need build/module insights
• you author Vite plugins and want to expose devtools visualizations
• you build a framework on top of Vite and need a unified devtools UI

When to avoid

• your project does not use Vite or Rolldown
• you need production monitoring or APM rather than development-time inspection
• you need a general-purpose browser DevTools replacement
